Women doctors and nurses in India who have been attending to Covid-19 patients and wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) kits for more than eight hours at a stretch, have to wear diapers to pass urine. When they are menstruating, they have to wear an XL size sanitary pad along with the diaper.
IPL team Rajasthan Royals was seen supporting menstruating women with the tagline ‘Let’s Talk Periods’ on the jerseys of male players. This initiative to get them talking about menstruation was sponsored by sanitary napkin brand Niine.
A gentleman who identified himself as Dalgalish Henry, recently wrote to a local newspaper that items like sanitary napkins for women “should be held as very personal and private by women” and “there can be no justification to flaunt them in males’ faces during the news. He wants sexual health education to be discreet.
